Gwen Florio

Gwen Florio is an American author of crime fiction books best known as the author of Lola Wicks series. She was born and raised in a 250-year-old brick farmhouse in Delaware with a sweeping view of the Delaware Bay. In addition to dogs, ponies, and chickens, Gwen’s childhood also included raising and releasing a number of wild critters from fawns and raccoons to hawks and owls. Her parents banned TV and instead filled the houses with many books. Gwen Florio went to the University of Delaware where she majored in English just as an excuse to continue reading many books as possible until her father convinced her to take a journalism course and with her first byline, Gwen was hooked. She spent over three decades in the journalism field which saw her explore not only major cities in her country but also visit more than a dozen countries.
